98 days to WCU Football Kickoff - #98 Christian Harris







Welcome to the eleventh annual Catamount Football "100 days to Football Kickoff Countdown". During the countdown, we'll highlight the player whose number corresponds to that day in the countdown. 

Since the official 2021 Catamount Football roster has not yet been published, we'll use the 2021 Catamount Football Preseason Roster for jersey numbers, until the new roster is posted, at which point we'll switch to the official roster for the remainder of the countdown. 

 ------------------------- 

It's now 98 days until the kickoff of Catamount football on Saturday, September 4th, 2021, against the Eastern Kentucky Colonels, in E.J Whitmire Stadium / Bob Waters Field, Cullowhee, NC. 

To help pass those long summer days, and hopefully get the Catamount faithful more excited about the upcoming season, and knowledgeable of the team members, we'll continue the football countdown each day until kickoff day.
